In this episode on the topic of Creating Possibility Out of Adversity, author Daria Burke shares reflections from her memoir "Of My Own Making," which explores her journey from a challenging childhood in Detroit to becoming a successful marketing executive. In Daria’s conversation with Danielle and Kristy she discusses post-traumatic growth, the importance of healing, and how sharing deeply personal pieces of ourselves can inspire others to do the same. Throughout this moving discussion she offers insights into overcoming trauma, finding meaning in difficult experiences, and tapping into the power of community in personal transformation.
